A sequel to Gabbar Singh (2012), it stars Pawan Kalyan reprising his role from the previous film alongside Kajal Aggarwal and Sharad Kelkar (his Telugu film debut). In the film, brave policeman Gabbar Singh (Kalyan) rescues the residents of Rathanpur when they are forced to face the wrath of Bhairav Singh (Kelkar), who unceremoniously usurps their land.[3]

Development

[edit]

In October 2012, Pawan Kalyan agreed to act in a film produced by Sharrath Marar, the former CEO of Maa TV, after completing work on Attarintiki Daredi (2013).[5] Before the release of Dabangg 2 (2012), producer Bandla Ganesh registered the title Gabbar Singh in Hyderabad at the Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber, fueling speculation that this would be the remake of Dabangg 2 and the sequel to Gabbar Singh (2012), which was the official Telugu remake of Dabangg. Devi Sri Prasad and Jayanan Vincent were retained as the film's music director and cinematographer. Sampath Nandi was chosen to direct the film, and Marar was announced to oversee the production. At the same time, the film was reported to have a fresh storyline.[6]

Kalyan wrote the story and clarified that the sequel would be based on an original script, not a remake of Dabangg 2. Considering the response to Attarintiki Daredi and the change in his on-screen image, Kalyan put pre-production on hold to make script changes. He added family drama elements and toned down the aggression of the lead character.[7] Kalyan also decided to complete his work on Gopala Gopala (2015) first, while Nandi produced Galipatam (2014) on a low budget.[8]

The film's official launch took place on 21 February 2014 in Hyderabad and was tentatively titled Gabbar Singh 2.[9] L. Satyanand supervised the script, assisted by Sridhar Seepana and Kishore Gopu. Harish Pai was chosen as the creative head, and Gautham Raju was signed to edit the film.[10] Due to delays in finalizing the female lead, Kalyan joined the sets of Gopala Gopala and worked on his political outfit, Jana Sena Party. The crew was instructed to regroup when Kalyan summoned them.[11] Nandi left the project in November 2014 for undisclosed reasons.[12] Vincent suggested K. S. Ravindra, who was then finalized as the new director.[13] Sai Madhav Burra was chosen to write the dialogues.[14]

The film was renamed Sardaar in late July 2015 to avoid paying royalty for the title Gabbar Singh. Kalyan chose this title since the character of Gabbar Singh, played by Amjad Khan, was referred to as Sardaar in Sholay (1975).[15] Eros International announced on 15 August 2015 that it would co-produce the film with Pawan Kalyan Creative Works and Northstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., and the title was changed to Sardaar Gabbar Singh.[16] Arthur A. Wilson replaced Vincent as the cinematographer due to creative differences between Vincent and Ravindra.[17]

Casting

[edit]

Kalyan sported a long hair and thick beard for a few important sequences in the film and a clean shaven look for the rest of the film.[18] The makers were reportedly planning to introduce a fresh face for the film.[19] Shruti Haasan and Asin were approached to play the female lead in the film.[20][21] Navneet Kaur Dhillon was reported to be signed as the female lead in late May 2014.[22] Akshara Haasan was approached for the same later who declined the offer gently saying that it would raise expectations on her next films and so responsibilities.[23] Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha, Parineeti Chopra and Katrina Kaif were approached for the female lead role who turned down the offer citing unavailability of bulk dates and Anisha Ambrose, who made a cameo appearance in Gopala Gopala, was chosen by Kalyan as the female lead.[24]

Ambrose was trained in the nuances of acting, perfecting dancing and several other aspects in the workshop sessions conducted by Ravindra in April 2015 before joining the film's sets.[25][26] During the shoot of the first schedule, the makers saw Sharad Kelkar's performance in a soap opera and approached him to play the antagonist. Kelkar's inclusion in the cast was confirmed in June 2015.[27] Charandeep, known for his work in the films Jilla (2014) and Pataas (2015), was signed as one of the antagonists in the film.[28] Kajal Aggarwal, who initially declined to be a part of the film two years ago due to scheduling conflicts, was approached again in August 2015 for the female lead role. She met the film's unit and gave her consent, marking her first collaboration with Kalyan.[29]

Kabir Duhan Singh confirmed his inclusion in the film's cast after completing a schedule and said that he would be seen as the one who handles all the activities of Kelkar in the film.[30] During the scripting stage, there was a shorter role for a second, parallel female lead which was developed by the creative team on par with the first female lead after the shooting began.[31] A source from the film's unit called it a "very energetic and active character".[32] Trisha Krishnan was approached for the same in mid April 2015.[33] Raai Laxmi's inclusion in the film's cast was confirmed on 2 September 2015. She was reported to play a crucial role in the film and to be appeared in a special song along with Kalyan.[34] Speaking about her role, Laxmi said that her role is a crucial one and shall stay till the end of the film, adding that it "starts off as something in the beginning, it transitions into something else altogether as the movie unfolds".[35]

Sanjana Galrani was signed to play the role of a Gujarati princess in the film who subserviently follows her husband.[36] She called it an important character with a "traditional and royal persona", adding that it is not "one of those blink-and-miss roles" and will be seen right from the start to the end. The film's unit revealed that her wardrobe consists largely of nine-yard sarees and heavy jewellery.[37] In mid March 2016, Kajal revealed that she would be seen as a princess, who was from another era dressed in exquisite Indian attires which is a very contemporary character unlike Indu from Magadheera (2009).[38]

Bhaskar Raju was signed as the film's production controller.[39] The film's shoot began on 29 May 2015 at Malshej Ghat in Maharashtra. Some important sequences of the first schedule were shot in a special village set and Kalyan was expected to join the sets from the first week of June.[40] The film's unit took a break after completing the first schedule since Kalyan was busy with his political commitments.[41] A fight sequence featuring Kalyan and others were shot at the Aluminium factory located in Gachibowli in late July 2015.[42] The second schedule was wrapped up on 5 August 2015,[43] and filming continued at Ameerpet in mid August 2015.[44]

They returned to Hyderabad shortly and the next schedule commenced from 1 November 2015.[50]

Critical response

[edit]

Sardaar Gabbar Singh received a mixed responses from critics.

Writing for The Times of India, Pranita Jonnalagada gave the film 2.5 out of 5 and stated, "This film surely is about a lot of guts (such lazy direction, anyone?), guns (even in songs!) and love (Pawan Kalyan has adorably dedicated this film to his fans)."[116] A critic from Sify gave 2.75 out of 5 and stated "Pawan's show and Kajal are saving grace but narration is a letdown. Despite a good interval bang, post interval it drags on without much redeeming factors."[117] Sreedhar Pillai of Firstpost summarised "Sardaar Gabbar Singh is strictly targeted at Pawan Kalyan’s huge fan base. It is all sound and fury, with no story and goes on and on."[118] Karthik Keramalu of News18 gave the film 2.5 out of 5 satting that "The film's story loses its focus mid-way."[119] Nandini Ramanath of Scroll, stated "Kalyan, who has written the movie, doesn’t only want to please his fans. He appears to be campaign mode (In real life, Kalyan is also a politician and is the founder of the Jana Sena Party). Scenes in Sardaar Gabbar Singh stink of electioneering and dialogues are of pure sloganeering. At 163 minutes then, Sardaar Gabbar Singh is one of the longest propaganda videos out there."[120] Indiaglitz gave the film 3 out of 5 stating, "Pawan's one-man show.  For those of you looking for him to do non-heroic comedy in khaki, this film has much stuff on platter."[121]

A critic from The Indian Express, criticised the screenplay stating that "Sardaar Gabbar Singh is so lazily written that it is literally a struggle to sit through the film."[122] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times gave a rating of 2 out of 5 stating "Even though Pawan Kalyan the actor shines in Sardaar Gabbar Singh, the writer fails miserably, and there’s so much he needs to learn from this debacle."[123] Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stating "The film leaves one with the feeling that something was missing, perhaps the magic of Pawan Kalyan."[124] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated "The film lacks a taut screenplay that can string together crowd-pleasing moments."[125] Bollywood Life gave the film 2 out of 5 stating "Sardaar Gabbar Singh is definitely not worth the hype it has been receiving."[126] Behindwoods gave the film a rating of 2.25 out of 5 stating, "Pawan Kalyan show all the way! But that's just not enough."[127] Daily News and Analysis gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stating "It may be Pawan Kalyan’s take on the classic Sholay, but this movie is only for Pawan Kalyan fans."[128]
